San Antonio (CLI)—The 13 th annual Catholic Schools Sweepstakes, sponsored by Catholic Life Insurance, is underway throughout the state of Texas.
Three diocesan Catholic Schools are participating in this year’s sweepstakes:
• Holy Cross Catholic Academy and St. Joseph School, both in Amarillo; and,
• St. Anthony School, Hereford.
Tickets for the sweepstakes are $5.00 each. The Grand Prize in the sweepstakes is the choice of a 2020 Ford F-150 Truck, a 2020 Ford Fusion Sedan or a $20,000 pre-Paid VISA Credit Card. Each participating school is also guaranteed to have a winner of a $1,000 Pre-Paid VISA Credit Card. It is possible to win both the $1,000 VISA Card and the Grand Prize.
“As the school year begins many schools have immediate financial needs. All monies raised through this program go directly and immediately to the school,” said Catholic Life Insurance President J. Michael Belz. “This is our way of helping Catholic schools and giving back to our Faith-based community. We are proud of what we have been able to accomplish thus far for Catholic education.”
Since its beginning, Catholic Schools have raised over $9 million, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the schools. San Antonio-based Catholic Life Insurance provides all the prizes, marketing material and printing. Proceeds raised by the participating schools can be used in the manner they choose. Examples include the purchase of computer equipment, textbooks, necessary school repairs and tuition assistance.
For additional information or to purchase a ticket, please call Holy Cross Catholic Academy at 355-9637; St. Joseph School at 359-1604; or, St. Anthony School at 364-1952.
